FIELD, a member of the firm in which Vice-President Elect Coolidge read law is quoted by a writer in Leslie's as having told this story about him: "I remember reading in the Springfiled Bepublican about three months after he came into our office that John Calvin Coolidge he dropped the John from his name years ago-had been awarded the gold medal offered by the Sons of the American Revolution for the best essay on the principles of the War for American Independence. The competition had been open to all undergraduates of all American colleges. I walked over to his desk. 'Is this you?' I asked, pointing to the paragraph. 66 'Yes,' said he. Only a Caged Bird! WHEN Madame Guyon was imprisoned in the castle of Vincennes, in 1695, she not only sang. but wrote, songs of praise. "It sometimes seemed to me," she said, "as if I were a little bird whom the Lord had placed in a cage, and that I had now nothing to do but sing. The song of my heart gave a brightness to the objects round me. The stones of my prison looked in my eyes like rubies. My heart was full of that joy which God gives to all that love Him, in the midst of their greatest trials." So she sang: "A little bird I am, shut from the fields of air; And in my song I sing to Him who placed me there; Well pleased a prisoner to be, Because, my God, it pleaseth Thee." To-Day the Seed of To-Morrow SOME of the most miserable wretches I have ever known were always dreaming about a happy tomorrow. They had focused for so many years on the future that they had neglected to cultivate the present which is the seed of to-morrow. Somehow we seem to think that we are going to reap a wonderful tomorrow without sowing our to-days; but to-day is the cause of to-morrow and the effect can not be greater than its cause.

G. Ingersoll is the most brilliant speaker of the English language in any land on the globe." Judge Jeremiah S. Black said, "He made a speech before the Supreme Court in Washington which was an absolute whirlwind, and carried away in its restless current that august bench."

But it takes a man to stand up and cheer It isn't the victory, after all, But the fight that a brother makes; The blows of fate with his head held high, Is the man who'll win in the by and by, It's the bumps you get, and the jolts you get, The prize that escapes your hands, But the blows you take on the good old earth -The Three Partners. The Home IT requires two to make a home. The first home was made when a woman, cradling in her loving arms a baby, crooned a lullaby. All the tender sentimentality we throw around a place is the result of the sacred thought that we live there with some one else. It is our home. The home is a tryst-the place where we retire and shut the world out. Lovers make a home just as birds make a nest, and unless a man knows the spell of the divine passion, I hardly see how he can have a home at all. He only rents a room.-Elbert Hubbard. A Metal-Boring Beetle WHEN telephone girls in California find their wires are "shorted," a bug may be on or in the wire, for California has a wood-boring beetle that goes through wood and also through alloyed substances considerably harder than lead. The beetle has put hundreds of telephones out of commission by boring holes in the cables that carry the wires. Water enters the cables, making wire connections useless until the bored places are found and repaired. When a fellow knows his business he doesn't have to explain to people that he does. It isn't what a man knows but what he thinks he knows that he brags about. Big talk means little knowledge. -George H. Lorimer. What you can do, or dream you can, begin it; Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Little Mistakes In English Which Cost You Money and Friends OTHING reveals NOT your real self so completely as the English you use in your business and social life. The first real impression you make on people is through your language, written or spoken. A little mistake in grammatical usage, or a little mistake in punctuation, spelling or pronunciation, may easily lower you in the esteem of others. Whether you realize it or not, your ability to speak and write clearly, convincingly, and correctly has a powerful influence on your success. Yet the average person is, by actual test, only 61 per cent. efficient in the essentials of correct English. Old Methods Too Hard The reason so many people make mistakes in English is that old methods of teaching are too hard. Rules must be memorized and applied -and rules are hard to remember. Especially for the new Americans is English unusually puzzling. Even college graduates unconsciously make glaring errors and little suspect that they are thereby handicapping themselves. And those whose training has been limited to Grammar School or High School constantly fail to grasp the difficult rules of correctness in speech and writing. A New, Simple Method A simple method has been invented by which you can acquire a command of the English language. Sherwin Cody, one of the best-known teachers of practical English, after twenty years of research and study, has perfected an invention which places the ability to talk and write with correctness and force within reach of every one with ordinary intelligence. On Oct. 15, 1918, Mr. Cody was granted a patent on his unique device, and now he places it at your disposal. You just go ahead and do the lesson given on any particular page and then you see just how Mr. Cody would correct that paper. Extra blanks are furnished for additional tests, so you can always see exactly how you stand and how you are improving. Only 15 Minutes a Day And the wonderful thing about Mr. Cody's method is the speed with which these habit forming practice drills can be carried out. When you can write the answers to fifty questions in 15 minutes and correct your work in 5 minutes more, it gives you a good idea of the practical and effective value of this course. It saves time because you learn quickly through HABIT instead of RULES. And the lessons are so interesting and fascinating that it's just like playing a game. Each day you can check yourself and SEE how much you are improving. A New Booklet Free A new booklet has been written, explaining Mr. Cody's remarkable course in detail. If you ever feel your lack of Language Power, if you are ever embarrassed by mistakes in grammar, spelling or punctuation, if you cannot instantly command the exact words with which to express your ideas, this book will prove a revelation to you. A polished and accurate command of the English language not only gives you the stamp of education, but it wins friends and impresses those with whom you come in contact. Many men and women spend years in high school and years in college largely to get the command of this key to social and business success. now a really efficient system of acquiring an unusual command of English is offered to you. Spare-time study-15 minutes a day-in your own home will give you power of language that will be worth more than you can even realize. And Write for this new free book, "How to Speak and Write Masterly English." Merely mail the coupon, or a letter, or even a postal card. You can never reach your greatest possibilities until you know the English language thoroughly. Write today for the free booklet that tells about Mr. Cody's simple invention for making command of language easy. SHERWIN CODY SCHOOL OF 101 Searle Building, Rochester, New York. |
